What to know About Outfield Gloves?

Outfield gloves are a lot deeper and also a lot longer than infield mites and gloves. The fact they are made this way gives the outfield players some extra reach and means they can catch balls out of the air. Depending on your style of play, you can go for the more open webbing to release the ball out of the glove and get it thrown away quicker or you can opt for the tighter-stitched more closed webbing for a more assured catch.

How to measure an outfield baseball glove?

A few simple instruments are all that are needed to measure an outfield baseball glove. The steps are as follows:

  • From the tip of the index finger to the back of the glove's heel, measure the length of the glove. In most cases, this measurement is given in inches.
  • The widest portion of the glove, which is typically the base of the thumb, is where you should measure the width of the glove.
  • Wrap a measuring tape around the glove's widest area, which is typically the base of the thumb, to determine its circumference. Additionally, this measurement is frequently made in inches.
  • Be sure to account for the player's hand size. The glove should snugly fit the player's hand, allowing room for their fingers to move freely.

It is advised to test the glove on to ensure that it is cosy, fits well, and allows for easy finger mobility.

You should always check the manufacturer's sizing chart before making a purchase because size can vary depending on the brand and model of the glove.

It's also crucial to remember that outfielder baseball gloves typically measure between 12" and 14" in length, longer than an 10-inch infield glove to create a deeper pocket.

At Baseball360, we are dedicated to offering our customers the best products and support possible. You're sure to discover the ideal glove for your requirements among our large range of outfield baseball gloves and softball mitts from leading manufacturers.

What size glove should I get?

Your age and position will all play a role in determining what size outfield baseball glove you require. Here are some common rules to follow when choosing the appropriate size:

  • Youth players: Baseball outfield gloves for young players normally measure between 9 and 12 inches in length and are meant for youngsters under the age of 12.
  • Intermediate players: These gloves are made for athletes between the ages of 12 and 16 and normally measure between 11.5" and 13".
  • Adult players: Adult gloves are made for athletes over the age of 16 and normally measure 12 to 14 inches in length.
  • Position and age: Outfielders typically wear gloves that are longer than infielders. This is due to the fact that outfielders must cover more ground and have more reach in order to snag pop-flies and catch balls sent into the gaps.

You should always check the manufacturer's sizing chart before making a purchase because size can vary depending on the brand and model of the glove.

Additionally, it is advised to try the glove on to ensure that it is cosy, fits well, and allows for easy finger mobility.

 

How to break-in an outfield glove?

A baseball glove needs to be broken in before it can be used in games. This process can take some time and effort. The following advice will help you break in a baseball glove:

  • Apply a leather conditioner or oil: Apply a leather conditioner or oil before you begin breaking in your glove to help soften the leather and make it more malleable. Work a little bit into the leather evenly with your fingers.
  • Use a baseball: Using a baseball is the most common method for breaking in a baseball glove. Start by using the glove to repeatedly catch the baseball while forming and flexing the pocket. You can accomplish this by catching the ball and pressing the glove and ball together to create the pocket.
  • Use a mallet or rolling pin: You can also gently pound the glove where you want it to be more flexible with a mallet or rolling pin.
  • Use a mallet made specifically for gloves: Pound the pocket and other sections of the glove. These mallets have a rubber end and are made to fit inside gloves.
  • Use a steamer designed for gloves: Steaming your glove can also be a good way to shape and soften the leather.
  • Wear it: Putting on a baseball glove is another technique to break it in. Wear it while doing other things around the house or by putting it on your hand. This will enable the glove to better fit your hand and become more comfortable.
  • Play catch with your new glove: This will help it mold to your hand and to soften the leather, which will make it more malleable.

It's crucial to remember that breaking in a baseball glove can take some time and effort, but the reward is a glove that is well-formed, comfortable, and ready for use in games. To find the technique that works best for you and your glove, you can test a variety of techniques or a mix of techniques.

 

How durable are outfield baseball gloves?

If you take good care of their gloves, they can last a very long period. Professional athletes can typically wear the same glove for four seasons or longer. When catching a ball hurts your hand and you feel like there is no longer any protection, it's time to get a new baseball glove. Place the glove in a dry, shaded area while not in use to protect it from the sun's rays.

 

How to clean an outfield baseball glove?

We strongly recommend you to get our glove oil. The leather will remain tough and lovely and smooth as a result.

  1. Spray some oil onto the glove and use a cloth to spread it evenly throughout the surface.
  2. Remove any dust and grime that may have accumulated over time with a soft brush.
  3. Use leather soap or even shaving cream to clean with a moist cloth.
  4. Remove any remaining soap from the cravasses and let it dry.

We advise against completely soaking your baseball glove in water since this could degrade the leather. You can put your glove in the sun to dry it properly if it is completely submerged in water.

 

What price should I pay for an outfield baseball glove?

An outfield baseball glove can cost anything between $20 and several hundred dollars. The price of an outfield baseball glove is influenced by the brand, kind of glove, and quality of the materials.

For instance, a high-end baseball glove designed for professional players and made of pricey leather and high-quality materials can be significantly more expensive than a glove made of synthetic materials that is more reasonably priced and meant for leisure use. Baseball gloves on clearance and closeout are also available for less money.

In general, before buying a baseball glove, especially if it offers customization capabilities, you should first ask yourself about your needs, the comfort level, the level of play you'll be using the glove for, and set a budget.

The price of a baseball glove with excellent webbing, fancy color, full-grain leather patterns, thick padding, a lovely oval shape, and a durable form, among other important aspects, can also be lowered by waiting for a sale. Waiting for a sale is typically a wise move, whether you're looking for a lightweight alternative or an all-purpose baseball glove with the finest level of comfort.

Our softball catchers mitt features reinforced lacing, snug fit, and shock absorption for impact protection.
